The evil day will come,
The dawn of persecution.
So how will you endure,
That dreaded institution?
You first must follow good,
The Christ be imitating.
For who would trouble you,
And stop the good you’re making?
And do not heed their threats,
Nor fear what they are fearing.
Through suffering, you’re blessed,
For Christ to you is nearing.
And set apart the Christ,
Within your hearts as holy.
Your God and sovereign Lord.
Acknowledging Him solely.
Be ready to defend,
To everyone the reason,
For always having hope,
Even in adverse seasons.
And keep you conscience good,
According to God’s standard.
And always do what’s right,
Ashaming any slander.
Remember you are blessed!
When people persecute you.
As long as you’re in Christ
His joy will constitute you!
